Chapter 9 The Mountains Have Trees and Trees Have Branches
Around noon, the sun was hot, the heat wave on the ground was rolling, the weeping willows by the Longshou Canal were wilting, the white jade bridge was also hot, and the new boots made by my grandmother felt hot when I stepped on it.
In these days, the shoes are all mille-feuille soles, and some will have a layer of soft leather in the middle. If it is a leather boot, it is only suitable for winter. Silk boots are usually worn when going out in the summer, and shallow silk shoes and wooden shoes are very popular in Kanto.
A cool breeze blew, Li Yun felt very comfortable, the snow-white goose feather fan with a wooden handle in his hand shook desperately, but he still felt that the wind was too small, and when he got into the carriage in Tongyang Gate, he didn't need to bask in the sun.
"Your Highness, slow down, the little slave is too hot, and he can't walk! Can you take a break? ”
Fu Nu carried two cages of four geese behind him, more than 30 catties, as well as a small box of food, shoes and socks, goose feather fans, wide-brimmed sunhats, pen, ink, paper and other stationery supplies, as well as several copies of the "Ranga Abhatara Sutra", which Li Yun took the initiative to help his grandmother copy, and there were not many things he could do for his grandmother.
"Can't!" Li Yun strode forward and replied faintly.
He was not in a good mood, and his grandmother may have known about him, so she took him by the hand and sent him to the front of the Datong Hall just now, and said a lot of things. It's nothing more than to cause less trouble, eat more, and in short, protect yourself. But this is not what Li Yun wants, he was also the boss of the market business in his previous life, and he is used to the feeling of power in his hands, how can he be an idle king now, and his status and current situation do not allow it.
Furnu had never done any heavy work, and now he was panting under the weight of a load of debris, so he had to change his left shoulder to his right shoulder, and keep up.
All the way around Longchi to Tongyang Gate, I saw Gao Xingkai leaning on the pillar in front of the utility room, holding a pottery bowl in his hand and pouring something into his mouth.
Now there are a lot of miscellaneous things, but Li Yun doesn't care, he gets into the carriage by himself, and doesn't want Funu and Gao Xingkai to quarrel outside the car.
Because the carriage is not very large, Fu Nu has to carry two cages of geese and boxes into the carriage, but Gao Xingkai has to put his own clothes and clothes, and then who will be the coachman, this is another question.
"Two idiots! Don't you know how to put two cages of geese in the back of the carriage? Don't you know that the goose has lice on it? When other things were brought in, Gao Xingkai drove the car, and remembered to put on a sunshade hat. ”
Fu Nu was only fifteen years old, and he still had the innocence of young people, and he liked small animals very much, and exclaimed: "Alas, isn't that goose sunburned?" It's only over a month old! ”
"Then you can hold it in your arms!"
Li Yun snorted angrily, and Gao Xingkai laughed and said, "Hey...... That is, like hugging a little daughter-in-law, it is not itchy when bitten by lice! ”
Fu Nu was angry, but he was a little afraid of Gao Xingkai's bearded appearance, so he went to the back of the carriage to hang up the goose cage silently, and got into the carriage with a small red lacquered wooden box.
There is a sandwich road in Xingqing Palace that leads directly to Daming Palace, and you can also go to Xingning Fang, but the laneway is gloomy and deep, and the sun only shines at noon for a while, Li Yun doesn't like to go there, and plans to bypass Shengye Fang to go north to Tonghuamen Street, and Xingning Fang is in Tonghuamen.
As soon as I arrived at the corner of the outer wall of Shengye Fang, I saw from a distance that the old Comber who had told him the day before yesterday was coming over with a carriage, and I didn't know if Mrs. Xiao was in the car. Li Yun suddenly perked up, and hurriedly shouted: "Gao Xingkai, stop that car, the ...... you know the coachman?"
"Hey! I saw it too, okay! ”
Gao Xingkai agreed, drove over, and just stopped in front of Comber's carriage, and the horse almost crashed, screaming. was so shocked that the little white goose in the cage behind Li Yun's carriage also quacked, and the sound was melodious and pleasant.
Comber saw it and asked loudly, "Why are you in a car?" Why are you guys again? ”
Li Yun pulled the curtain of the car and looked at it expectantly, and sure enough, he saw that the curtain of the car on the opposite side was also opened, but what he didn't want to show was the face of a strange little lady, and he was a little disappointed, and Xiao Xiaoniang appeared behind.
"Hi ......" dragged on a long tail note.
Li Yun waved his hand, and saw that the strange little lady's mouth was slightly open, and her face was sluggish. Xiao Xiaoniang smiled a little in surprise behind the window, but shrank back shyly.
Li Yun immediately rummaged through the two plain notes in the small box that Fu Nu carried into the car, took a goose feather fan dyed pink and painted with peony flowers, jumped out of the car, and strode to the opposite car window.
"You! Let go to the side, let Xiao Xiaozi sit here, I have something to say to her! Of course, Li Yun saw the embarrassment of this strange young lady, wasted an expression of his own, and immediately waved his hand unceremoniously.
The strange little lady exclaimed, and finally knew that the young man in front of her was not greeting her, so she glared at Li Yun angrily, so she had to get up and get out of the way.
"Thank you Xiao Xiaoniang for the gift she bought the day before yesterday, my grandmother is very happy, this is a fan made by her old man, this small box is for you by me, take it!" Li Yun lifted the thing up and handed it to the car window, and saw that the expression on Xiao Xiaoniang's face was a little wonderful, both happy and strange, and a little surprised.
"Yike...... It's such a beautiful fan, so the slave family will accept it! Those gifts don't cost much, and you don't have to pay them back! Xiao Xiaoniang's beautiful eyes lit up, and she was hesitating in her heart, but looking at the smiling face in front of her, it was really hard to refuse, so she took it with a smile, thought about it and asked, "That's right!" Is your business settled? Is this going home or where are you going? ”
Li Yun smiled and said, "So generous, that gift must be worth ten yuan, right?" I'm fine now, it's time to go home! What about you? ”
"Huh...... I just went to Mr. Li's house in Chongrenfang to learn the piano, and I didn't want his wife to suffer from heat stroke, so the slave had to go home! ”
Xiao Xiaoniang replied casually, playing with the goose feather fan over and over in her hand, and gently scraped the goose feathers on the edge of the fan back and forth on her face, and suddenly saw the goose cage behind Li Yun's car, she couldn't help laughing, her eyes were bent into crescents, and she pursed her lips and said, "Oops! Look, the goose is white and fat, it's really gratifying......"
Or thinking that it was a bit inappropriate to say this, he picked up a fan and covered it under his eyes, his eyebrows stretched, his long curved eyelashes fluttered, and his eyes flickered a little.
"If you like it, I'll give you a pair, don't be embarrassed!" Li Yun immediately ran over to untie the rope, brought a cage over, opened the lid of the cage, grabbed the wings of a young goose and lifted it up, feeling heavy six or seven pounds, and lifted it to the window of the car to show Xiao Xiaoniang.
Unexpectedly, the goose stretched out her neck very unhappily, and screamed "quack", and her beak almost pecked at Xiao Xiaoniang's face, which frightened Xiao Xiaoniang to close her eyes and retract into the car.
This little lady's embarrassed appearance is also very cute, Li Yun couldn't help laughing, raised the goose in his hand upward, and motioned for her to take it.
Xiao Xiaoniang glanced at Li Yun, stretched out her hand to caress the goose's back, and saw that the goose's red and yellow legs and feet were tied with a red rope, so she took it and pressed it on the car window with confidence, holding the goose's leg with one hand, and stroking her back with the other, with a delicate and innocent smile on her face, and chanted in her mouth: "Goose goose goose, song to the sky, white hair floating in green water, anthurium pulling out clear waves!" Hee-hee...... Scream! Sing it! ”
Unfortunately, the goose shook her head and body in anger, closed her mouth tightly, and ignored her.
Li Yun looked funny, and reminded him kindly: "Okay, okay!" This goose has lice on it, don't scratch it in your hands for a long time! ”
"Ah...... No way? How can there be lice in such white fur? Why didn't you say it earlier? And laughing so weirdly......"
Xiao Xiaoniang was taken aback, retracted her hand like an electric shock, and immediately stayed away from the goose, and glared at Li Yun with disgust. On the narrow car window, the chubby and clumsy goose couldn't stand up and fall down, but fortunately, Li Yun caught it and put it into the cage casually.
"You can watch it, but you can't play with it! What do you think? Will you bring the goose back? Seeing that she looked scared again, Li Yun asked.
Xiao Xiaoniang looked entangled, hesitated for a while and replied, "Hmm...... What you say makes a lot of sense, I don't have geese at home, so call Comber to come and collect it! ”
"Good! Then I'm leaving! There will be a period later! Li Yun arched his hand with a smile and blinked vigorously, seeing that Xiao Xiaoniang was a little embarrassed, and smiled shyly and turned her face away.
Seeing Li Yun get on the car and leave, gradually disappearing into the street, Kang Bo in front of the car also came to carry the goose cage and hung it on the carriage, the carriage went south, Xiao Xiaoniang still loved to play with the goose feather fan, and saw that Miao Yun, who was sitting opposite, was still holding the small red wooden box that Li Yun had just given, so he handed her the fan in his hand and said, "Take it!" Look what's in the box! ”
Miao Yun handed it over, Xiao Xiaoniang took it, opened it and saw that there were only two plain notes inside, and she couldn't help but be a little disappointed, so she took out two plain notes and unfolded them, and the upright Xiaokai came into view, the content was "Zheng Feng has a lesbian car".
After just one glance, Xiao Xiaoniang immediately crumpled the paper into a ball, tried her best to hold back her smile, and a shallow dimple with a smile seemed to appear in front of her, recalling the scene of the day before yesterday, it really corresponded to this Zheng Feng.
Although she endured it, thinking of the artistic conception of this poem, her cheeks couldn't help but feel a little hot, and there was an inexplicable little pride. Then look at the other one, which reads:
Tonight, he is in the middle of the river.
Today, I have to be in the same boat with the prince.
Shame is good, and I don't swear shame.
The heart was annoyed and unstoppable, and learned that the prince.
The mountains have trees and branches, and the concubines don't know.
is obviously a "Yue Ren Song", but one word has been changed, and the identity of the man who sent the letter has changed the flavor of the whole poem.
Hum! This thick-skinned and nasty man is self-inflicted...... also deliberately changed the word "heart" to "concubine", what does it mean? Want me to write back? He was able to open his mouth. Still not ashamed? When I am a village girl? Wait a minute...... Prince?
The meaning of ridicule jumped on the paper, Xiao Xiaoniang's delicate expression changed, and she couldn't help but guess all kinds of things, the shallow dimple and smiling face floated away, and seemed to disappear into the fog and became mysterious.
